This part is quite simple -- it's almost exactly like the torso bit, except theres a top on it!
Amazing!

Since most people's heads tend not to exceed a person's torso/chest in length, width, or height, the length and width of the helmet/hat thing will be the same as that of the torso. The height of the helmet depends on how high your head is, obviously, adding an inch or two.
Slit the Cardboard so its not just "cardboard," its a flat piece of "material."
Starting vertically , measure the height of the desired helmet, cutting away the extra cardboard.
Next, measuring horizontally, the width of the helmet, the length, the width, and then the length, creating a sort of box pattern.
Tape it all together, creating a sort of open box shapy thing.

Find or cut a piece of cardboard to fit on the top, and tape it all together.
